IN MATH WE TRUST

Money is the most important invention after language.

It provides tokens for the faith we have in each other and society – but that trust has been violated repeatedly throughout history by the middlemen and authorities we rely upon in order to transact with each other. Now a new kind of money promises to rescue us from these tyrants and return us to the roots of money, without relying on third-parties.

Instead of putting our faith in banks and governments, we can trust math.

In Math We Trust looks at the evolution of trust, explaining the origins of Bitcoin, how cryptocurrency works, and how you can use these networks to take control of your own financial universe.
